Indeed, it was a horrific night for Densmore, the capital of the kingdom. Packages containing bombs were delivered in the central offices of the police and in two ministries. Luckily, there weren't fatalities, but a lot of people were injured and there were massive destructions in the buildings.
"Where are we going?" she asked hesitantly the next morning, as they were waiting in front of the palace entrance for their car to be double-checked from the security men. After the last night's incident, you could see bodyguards everywhere checking the space and protecting the future king and queen.

"My family owns a country house, two hours from here. No one gets there, except my father and his friends once or twice per year, during hunting. I'm not keen on these activities, and so I barely go there, but it's a nice place, secluded and cozy. That's why I thought we could spend this weekend there until the things cool down.

They spent most of their first day outside. He showed her around and then, they started walking next to a pond, joking and teasing each other.
